Archie #277
In "Lunch Break," Archie and the gang learn a lesson in respect when their teasing of a freshman with an apple for his teacher gets them called out by Miss Grundy—only to discover the small gesture means more than they thought. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo Jr.'s signature style, inks by Jim DeCarlo, and vibrant colors by Barry Grossman, this 1979 classic captures the charm of Riverdale’s everyday moments. The cover by Dan DeCarlo and Rudy Lapick perfectly frames the lighthearted yet meaningful scene.
